Needs survey!.

Newly refurbished in 2020, this picture postcard pub with white frontage and low thatched roof is more a diner than a pub these days. The cosy fresh looking interior features much stonework and low beams and is largely given over to diners with a small concession of a table or two near the bar counter for drinkers. Extensive outdoor seating is available at both the front and particularly the rear, the latter a garden with a play area giving tranquil countryside views. Alongside the pub is the ancient St Michael's Church (the pub served as the vicarage in the 17th century) and both are a short stroll of around 300 yards from Bridge No 55 on the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal.

Historic Interest

17th century
